Housing and Group Housing

Just made an account since the game sounds pretty interesting and I can't wait to test it.

However, I have a few questions about housing since I heard you speaking of it in the video. Will the housing be locked behind a paywall or can you earn it through gameplay? And instead of having a huge guild of 50 people, is it also possible to have a small 'guild' of 5 people, with all the benefits that come with a normal sized guild?

@raxzon You can build a house (like) where you want: farms, houses, maybe blacksmiths (I don't know). Guilds will be able to justify the city in specially designated areas and manage them.
We were told that members of the Guild can live in the built Gorda, also traveling players will be able to stay in the hotels of the city

We don't know much about housing or guilds besides that they're both tied to the settlement system which happens to be the topic of the next spotlight. We do know that there won't be any content locked behind a paywall which should include housing.

@raxzon there are several spotlights on the official website with lots of info about the game. There will be a spotlight about settlements and building. I'm sure that spotlight will awnser all your questions. So keep an eye out for news on the website.
